This year I gathered my favorite nail polishes for 2013. You can click on the polish's names and have a look at the matching original blog post. At the end there is a special mention for the best indie nail polish in 2013.

Maybe you noticed it - I am totally in love with indie nail polishes. Today I am wearing Snowflake Blues from Polish Me Silly. That's an icy blue creme-jelly polish with hexa glitter in turquoise blue and silver in different sizes, white bar glitter and big round turquoise blue glitter. A lot of glitter landed on my nails with only one coat and I own only the little 9 ml bottle. The formula was a little complicated to handle because it is slightly thick and sometimes a little uneven. On the pics I am wearing two coats (one thin and one thick) and that was enough for me. But if you want total opacity you might need three coats.

I love this icy blue! And what I like even more is that the glitter seems to glow and that adds such a special look.

Today I am again taking part in the German campaign "Lacke in Farbe ... und
bunt!" round 2 (in English: "Polishes in color ... and colored!" from Das Jahreszeitenhaus and Lenas Sofa. You can get informations in German here.

Today there is a world novelty on owl love nails! For the first time I am showing the same nail polish that I showed only 10 days ago :-P

Mistletoe Madness from Polish Me Silly is so much fun that I wanted to wear it again. This uncomplicated thermal polish changes from green (cold) to white (warm) and I love it to watch the effect on my nails all day long. Even my husband has started to watch my nails more closely to see how warm or cold they are.

Besides Mistletoe Madness offers everything a good nail polish should have: great formular with lots of glitter, quick drying and good durability.

I needed some glitter! Today I am wearing a DIFFERENT dimension nail polish for the first time: Tinselitis from the Happy Holly Days Collection.

Tinselitis is a clear base full of silver holographic circle glitter and silver micro glitter. One single coat contains loads of glitter. My application of glitter was a little thick but that was only because I have no experience in applying glitter and not because of Tinselitis itself. The brush was easy to handle and the formula of this polish is great.

The blue nail polish is Essie Aruba Blue of which I applied two effortless coats.

I just love the combo! The silver glitter on the dark blue base reminds me of starlight.

For me it's my red OPI polishes - they are always perfect. I only need two easy coats of The Spy Who Loved Me or Innie Minnie Mighty Bow and I will feel sexy and ready for everything that the day might offer. Who can resist red nails?!

Most of my OPI polishes are red. Followed by pink and nude polishes. The classic colors from OPI are and will stay the perfect nail polishes for me.

Here I am wearing Brooklyn with Nicole by OPI My Lifesaver. But last one is the reason why I am not totally in love with this manicure. My lifesaver hasn't the best qualities - it is too thick, streaky and doesn't dry evenly on the nails. Anyway: Brooklyn is adorable!

I am not a fan of purple but you can get me with any purple polish when you add some flakies, glitter or shimmer. Just like this one. Nicole by OPI Back In My Gloria Days from the Modern Family Collection is a dark purple with stunning flakie shimmer in gold. See it for yourself!

To be honest: I didn't expect much from thermal polishes. I simply ordered them to say later "I tried them, too." But: I am totally crazy about them!!!

Mistletoe Madness is a nail polish that is a sheer white when warm and a dusty green when cold. There is lots of glitter included in red, green and white.When the polish is warm (sheer white) you can see the glitter from the coat underneath and when it is cold (green) it is more opaque.

The color change is happening all the time and you can see it quite often even if you have very short nails (my thumb nails are very short right now). First it took a while to see the first color change after applying the polish but that was simply because I have very cold fingers in winter. It is so much fun to stare on your nails all day long like a little child and watch the colors changing.

Mistletoe Madness is my first nail polish from Polish Me Silly (former Lush Lacquer). The quality of their polishes is amazing. The formula of Mistletoe Madness is a little thick but can be applied easily and dries quickly even if you apply thicker coats. Even though I only own a little 9ml bottle there is lots of glitter on each brushstroke that glides easily over the nails. A little bottle is absolutely enough if you don't plan to add a new favorite polish.
